At Summit Street School, we adhere to the seven principles of the Responsive Classroom:

  • The social curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.
  • How children learn is as important as what they learn:  Process and content go hand in hand.
  • The greatest cognitive growth occurs through social interaction.
  • To be successful academically and socially, children need a set of social skills:  cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control.
  • Knowing the children we teach -individually, culturally, and developmentally- is as important as knowing the content we teach.
  • Knowing the families of the children we teach and working with them as partners is essential to children’s education.
  • How the adults at school work together is as important as their individual competence:  Lasting change begins with the adult community.
